Good easy to use camera

The Nikon Coolpix L14 is easy to use and has a number of different functions. It has a 2.4 inch LCD screen and takes photos of 7.1 megapixel quality.

The front of the camera has the flash centre top, with the lense on the right hand side with a small sensor to detect light just above this.

The back of the camera has the screen on the left hand side with the zoom button at the top left with a small menu button, functionality button and delete button below this.

On the under side there a a hole which you can use to attatch the camera to a stand and the battery compartment.

At the top there are from left to right; the camera mode button, the view pictures mode button, the power button and the capture image button.

On the left side there is a hook so that a strap can be attathced in the middle and then the USB lead connection which is covered with a plastic cover on the left and the memory card slot on the right which is again covered by a plastic cover.

There is nothing on the right side.

The camera takes two AA batteries and has a reasonable battery life if you use good quality batteries. Nikon claims that you can take 1000 shots before you need to change the batteries, however, I think this is a little optomistic with the average camera user who wants to review their shots, delete, upload etc.

I have found the Nikon Coolpix L14 to be a good camera that has met my needs as a mum wanting to take lots of pictures of her little girl growing up. If taking pictures in daylight where the flash is not required it can take photos in quick succession, which is great if you want to capture children as it is rather difficult to get them to pose. The quality of these images is good, I have images of my daughter in mid air when she has been jumping around which are crystal clear.

It is also good on nights out with my friends, however, it does take the flash a long time - approximately ten seconds to reload meaning a fairly long wait between shots which can be inconvenient. The different functions are good here as they allow you to take clearer pictures in dark environments such as clubs and bars.

My partner uses the camera when he fishes for taking shots of any catches and finds the camera is good for this also. It is easy to see the LCD screen in bright light and is easy to use so that he can ask passers by to take his photos for him.

All in all I think it is a good camera and would recommend it to anybody who wants a straightforward camera.
